I ate fastfood for the first time in a few years last friday (had no other choice, and fastfood is still better than no food). Holy shit, those farts were like 100x times WORSE than the regular protein fart. Seriously.SonderKommando wrote:

Sometimes it hard to let your ego go for the sake of better training. Dont worry, you'll be happy with the results, then you can go back to pyramids again soon.PrivateVendetta wrote:

Really demoraliseing changing my routine from 10-8-6 to 10-10-10-10, I have to take the weights waaaay down
IMO the proper way to pyramid though is with four sets at 12 10 8 6

I'm going to do even sets until I leave America, then when I get home I'll start pyramids again. That's about 10 weeks, I'll try to go 3 times a week if I can while I'm here.
There's a soccer field like every ten feet in teh UK right? I've used a soccer goal as a pull up bar many many times. Or find a playground and use the monkey bars.Uzique wrote:

Are these any good for a doorway pull up bar?

Or is that just a waste of time and should I get this?

If protein is making you fart, you're taking too much (unless you're just not used to it).
I'd love to hear scientific proof of thisunnamednewbie13 wrote:

i don't think you need scientific proof to conclude that if you're shitting streams or constantly farting, your digestive system isn't happy

280*8 Deadlift today, feelsgood.
So, with this change in workout (probably start in about 2-3 weeks time), how does this comprise a weekly routine? Some advice here would be really appreciated.SonderKommando wrote:
Just giving it a quick look over it seems to be a decent split for a beginner. Once you start feeling comfortable you should consider doing a more dedicated regimen. For example group Chest/Tri, Back/BI, Shoulders (traps/delts front and rear), and Legs. Then from there if youre serious you can give each part a dedicated day.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how strong your frame is with most pull-up bars.Uzique wrote:

The force is distributed horizontally, so it shouldn't put any stress on the frame.
..but don't quote me on that.
-6°C (20F) and I'm going to the gym. Biking for 30 minutes, fuck yeah.
-6??
It's been about 26 here every day with roughly 70% humidity

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
I'm doing a lot of reading right now to learn as much as I can. What's your routine if you don't mind?Jebus wrote:

I'm doing a 4 day split at the moment.
Monday: legs
Squats: 5x5
Deadlifts: 5x5
Leg Press: 4x8
Leg Extension 3x12~
Hamstring Curl 3x12~
Seated Calf Raise: 4x8
I go by rep ranges the least on monday. I pick a weight that'll have me working hard, try to increase it just a bit the next set.
Tuesday: Chest/Biceps
Bench Press: 4x8
Incline DB Fly: 4x8
Incline DB Press: 4x8
Cable Cross Over: 4x8
(evt. Press drop set)
Biceps: Really experimenting here. I saw a vid a while back where a guy just did countless reps, slow ones, very concentrated curls with not so heavy weight. He kept doing those untill he couldn't, then he pushed out a few more hammer curls. Two sets of those. Then I do standing cable curls with as strict form as possible. I feel I can go pretty heavy on these without sacrificing form. I do about 4x6-8 of those, increasing the weight if I feel I can. I finish off on the cable machine with a set of 21's (google this, makes my arms scream). If I still feel I've got something left I'll hop on the seated bicep curl machine, and do a few more reps, including some very slow negatives to push everything out.
Followed by abs + oblique work.
Thursday: Back/Triceps
-Deadlifts: 4x6-8
-Pull-ups: 3xFailure
-Pullover(machine): 4x8
-Seated Cable Row: 4x8
-Lat Pulldown: 4x8
-Compound Row: 4x8 (Sometimes a drop set as well, but usually I go with a pyramid; 12-10-8-6 reps)
-Bench Dips (warm-up)
-Dumbbell overhead extension 4x8
-Triceps pulldown, rope: 4x8
-EZ-Bar Skullcrushers supersetted with CG Bench Press: 4x8, First crushers, w/ forced reps (slow negativess), then some CG's.
Friday: Shoulders (least time)
-Cable Front Raise: 4x8
-DB Side Raise: 4x8
-Seated Militairy Press: 4x8
-Arnold Press: 4x8
-Upright Row: 4x8

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
Thanks man. How long do you rest between sets and routines? Is it timed, or just more of a feeling thing?Jebus wrote:

I've also been reading up a lot about supplements, do you use any? Specifically looking at creatine and glutamine. I've aleady been having protein shakes post-workout, and protein bars for snacks (once daily).

This was me in January 2010
I didn't lift seriously back then, sometimes only 1x a week. Didn't lift at all in the summer holidays (except for 2 weeks); so I've set september 2010 as my official 'real' start date lol.
I try to keep it below 1 minute (I have the JeFit timer set on 45 secs, but I hardly use it). Sometimes I'll get caught up by finding a new song to play, so I should concentrate a bit more on that. On certain compounds (like heavy squats/deadlifts) I go for it when I feel I can. At the moment I don't use any supplements at all. Will start again with a good multi and some whey soon though. I've also been looking at creatine, looks goodJaekus wrote:
